  • You saved me!!!

    It is because of this amazing podcast and the hosts that I now have quite possibly the best therapist. Therapy for Women in Philadelphia is by far the best and most non traditional therapy center. I recommend any and everyone to try them out. BTW SAM I am sooooooo sad that you’re not a Philadelphia therapist!

  • Episode 81

    Listening to this genuinely helped me more than I can say. Hearing OCD and alcohol in the postpartum period discussed so openly and without judgement made me feel seen and far less alone. It gave me clarity, compassion for myself, and hope at a time I really needed it. I’m so grateful, thank you! 🙏🏼

  • Mind altering perspectives and expertise in the best ways

    I stumbled upon this podcast after hearing Amanda in a guest pod and everything she said was so different and refreshing. The Nuanced Needed pod is a beautiful dose of fresh perspective in every episode. A people pleaser through-and-through, I’ve always been stumped about problems with relationships and I am so grateful for the many lightbulb moments they have provided.
